The Ontario government is adding 15 new GO train trips each week to increase midday, weekday service along the entire Lakeshore East line.

"We're delivering on our promise to expand transit in Ontario by offering more service, more trains and more choice for GO customers on the Lakeshore East line," said Minister Mulroney at an event in Ajax. "Adding more midday service between Oshawa and Union Station is part of our GO Rail Expansion program. When fully in-service, GO Rail Expansion will provide GO customers two-way, all-day GO service, with trains every 15 minutes or better between Oshawa and Union Station on the Lakeshore East line."

"These new midday trains make Ajax more accessible and more connected to communities across the GTHA than ever before," said MPP Phillips. "Our government is committed to investing in public transit to support local businesses, good jobs and get Ontario moving again."

"All of these new and improved trips are giving people more reasons to choose transit first, which is what our GO Rail Expansion program is all about," said Phil Verster. "If you need to leave work a little earlier or you want to head into the city for an evening out, there are now more ways to do that using GO Transit."
